What was the first debate numbers?

 

[Patryn]

Why is CNN proclaiming Romney had a great night?

CNN wants the election as close as possible for ratings.

 

[NullPointer]

4 years to respond.

Sounds fair to me. You have until the end of Obama's second term.

 

[LiK]

NBC in fact checking mode right now. So good.

 

[Kyou]

His whole demeanor changed. His facial expression changed. His eyes stopped moving so much. Who knew he was such a bully?

His software was not designed for this variable.

 

[Officerrob]

Why is CNN proclaiming Romney had a great night?

CNN tries too hard to makes things seem even

Why is CNN proclaiming Romney had a great night?

Dat last place desperation.

 

[pigeon]

Obama's winning our post-debate snap poll in Colorado. We should have full results between 11:15 and 11:30

Oh snap (poll).

 

[Gr1mLock]

cnn is baffling.

Cnn is desperately trying to pull in the Fox crowd.

 

[ViperVisor]

RNC PR BS: Candy aided and abetted Obama on Libya.

 

[Newton Crosby]

Romney got destroyed, trying to spin it any other way is Fox News levels of bullshit.

[Exuro]

Close but not quite:

Obama: "Please proceed, Governor." DEATH STARE

Agreed. Don't normally get chills but that was an awesome moment.

 

[Jack_AG]

Obama clearly won that debate.

Not a complete knockout IMO, but a clear substantive win.

Libya question was destructive to Romney.

I'd say no. I'm not in it for Romney but when he opened up on Bams for his broken promises and "did you like the past 4 years?" tidbit - that sticks with a lot of people.

Obama did good - but he's also campaigning like he hasn't been president for 4 years.

The question everyone will ask themselves is "Am I better off than I was 4 years ago?"

There's plenty more questions - but for the average individual - this is the no.1 question.

Both candidates can say all they want but Romney calling Obama out on broken promises was a rather large blow because it hits home and, for a lot of people, carries more weight than the rest of the debate.

Again - I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade - Obama did far better in this debate but the no.1 issue for a large majority is the economy and the past 4 years isnt exactly a "pro" for the President and Romney highlighted that which I feel (I could be wrong, I'm not psychic) is a foreground issue.

 

[Violater]

Listen I need a separate thread on "Binders"

 

[MeBecomingI]

C-Span is full of people saying that Romney won... they are saying that he provided more specifics.

I don't even... how the fuck?

Also, Romney left the stage really, really early. Obama is still around chatting with everyone.

 

[PhoenixDark]

CBS snap shot

Obama 37
Romney 30
Tie 33

 

[MThanded]

Republicans spinners are spinning out of control.

 

[Natiko]

Obama said he called the Benghazi attack a terrorist incident in the Rose Garden the next day. Romney challenged him on it, not believing he did. Moderator stepped in and said actually the President did say it. Crowd went wild.

Thanks for that! Now to find out what the binder issue is in regards to.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Why is CNN proclaiming Romney had a great night?

Because CNN doesn't know that unbiased doesn't mean balanced.

This is all voters right?

More interested in uncommitted.

 

[oneils]

Listen I need a separate thread on "Binders"

I think I missed this? Lol what is up with "binders?"

 

[entremet]

I find it offensive that we the people get lied to but hey.... 4 more years of this tripe in this thread anyways.

Bush and Reagan never lied? lol.

 

[polyh3dron]

Megan Kelly making a solid point for once. The likability was at an all time low for both. Arguing and talking over one another was really grating to listen to.

lol she's just trying to muddy the waters is all, try to give obama some splash damage.

Because CNN doesn't know that unbiased doesn't mean balanced.

Yes this. CNN is all about false equivalence.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

CNN is playing the viewers game. No doubt in my mind.

It's like before hockey drafts TSN in canada keeps acting like it's going to be a toss up and close and whatnot even though it's almost always obvious who will go first/second. It's their job to keep people watching.

 

[equap]

poor baby

 

[DrBo42]

Get the transcript. That's the President I voted for damn it. Little late but it's nice to see you Mr. Obama.

 

[Protein]

Someone post some swag Obama gifs. I need them for all the sour comments on facebook.

 

[Brinbe]

A Bams win is all that matters, no matter the margins. That number will only grow as that opinion coalesces.

And y'all should be ecstatic considering everyone was predicting doom 12 hours ago.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Bobby Jindal sounds like old Kermit the Frog.

 

[Kibbles]

 

[Souldriver]

Close but not quite:

Obama: "Please proceed, Governor." DEATH STARE

I want video of this. I somehow only caught half of that, but I saw it was significant.

What was that all about? I must've missed it.

great, so 70% of people thought obama won or tied, exactly what we need to change the narrative :smug

 

[789shadow]

Overall, that was a pretty fun debate. Obama really came out like it was Game 7 or something.

 

[DarkFlow]

Okay fox righted the crazy ship with the RNC chairman. That was close.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

What was the first debate numbers?

46% to Romney

22% to Obama

32% tie.

 

[Cheebo]

CNN has to be worse than Fox News. I don't get it. Why are they doing this? They aren't going to win over the Fox viewers.

 

[gutter_trash]

the media wants to keep this election a close horse race, it's good for ratings and selling papers.

but in reality, it's all horseshit. Obama cleaned Mitt's clock tonight.

 

[Henchmen21]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Candy was limp. She wasn't even close to Martha. Martha kept both candidates in check and didn't let either one talk down to her.

 

[thekad]

Obama completely flipped Libya into a positive. Republicans look like idiots talking about it now.

 

[NullPointer]

C-Span is full of people saying that Romney won... they are saying that he provided more specifics.

"I know how to do this"

"I know what a growing economy looks like"

Look at all of those specifics.

"We have to make this the best place to start a new business."

And those specifics!

He's got all kinds of specifics.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Obama getting pissed at Romney over that Libya bullshit was fucking awesome

whole debate fack checked

But not spellchecked?

I KEEED

 

[slightconfuse]

lol fox news guy talking amount of signs

 

[AniHawk]

my pre-debates predictions were:

1. romney
vp. ryan
2. obama
3. obama

i'm 2 for 3. after the first one, i switched to a tentative biden win though.

 

[Deified Data]

Curbstomp. Obama really surprised with this one.

There's no conceivable way that any respectable media outlet can spin this into a tie.

 

[MeBecomingI]

CNN has to be worse than Fox News. I don't get it. Why are they doing this? They aren't going to win over the Fox viewers.

Desperation.
